Overview
I have homework to complete. The homework instructions will be in the file attached. Also, my professor is very serious about APA formatting, so I attached the checklist file as well as this extra information below;
*****Here is some guidance from my professor******
Title Page
Each assignment you submit has a Title Page. Please create the Title Page in APA 7 style, as described on page 32 of the APA 7 Manual. From the top to the Paper Title, you create four empty spaces. Between the Paper Title and the Author, you create two empty spaces, as shown in Figure 2.2 Sample Student Title Page. Please create your own Title Page specific to this course. You will receive point deductions if you do not follow the APA 7 style Title Page.
Note. Adapted from the “American Psychological Association” published by Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.), (2020).
References
The word References should always appear centered, bolded, and in plural form—no colon needed—even if you only have one source. Be sure to follow APA 7 capitalization rules, and remember to italicize the appropriate parts of each reference entry. Also, take a moment to double‑check the hanging indentation so everything is formatted correctly.
I recommend using https://reciteworks.com/ to review your references and in‑text citations. Recite is free up to a point, and while it isn’t perfect, it does a great job catching most common errors. These small details go a long way in polishing your work.

Word File/Grammarly/SafeAssign
When you submit your paper, please be sure to attach your Word file. Having the Word document makes it much easier for me to review your work and run it through Grammarly for a plagiarism check. I also encourage you to use Grammarly yourself to strengthen your writing; you already have free access through the University of the Cumberlands website. You can also use SafeAssign before turning in your paper to see your originality score. It is a helpful way to double‑check your work and make sure everything is properly cited.
Late Assignments
Late assignments will automatically receive a zero grade. So, please submit your assignments on time.
Graphs/Pictures
If you have a graph/table/picture in a picture format for a discussion post, you can upload it to the specific location.
Following these housekeeping rules will give you a strong start.
